So is McKinsey a super back-stabbing culture? We had a partner join our firm- ex McKinsey - and this person seems like a sociopath. Also this person has no skill set I can figure out...

Back stabbing can happen in any firm. Singling out a particular firm is not right.

^ I think OP specified super back stabbing culture because back stabbing is a given in any of these firms.

I'm actually not trying to be vindictive. A number of people have said this person behaves a certain way because they grew up in McKinsey. I'm seriously curious. And.... I worked at deloitte for a long time and now at my very large consulting firm and I've never seen this level of lying, backstabbing, and 2-faced BS from a person.

I haven't seen any backstabbing yet...perhaps that's why the person left?

NYO's known for that. Most other offices (including mine) have an awesome, supportive culture

Interesting....well good to know. It's a good point ....Perhaps that is why this person left ...this person worked at Bain too, but more recently McKinsey...

@OP what firm are you at now?

Let me add I think this person is a sociopath and McKinsey or not - they would be a sociopath. But several people - some who worked there - have told me that back-stabbing culture is encouraged at McKinsey, so just wondering...

Accenture ... I was trying to be avoid calling people out but I did a search and there's enough ex McKinsey MDs in Accenture strategy to disguise this person...And it's not our top leadership FYI ...

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role? I've worked for the past 3 years in a practice that is heavily consulting based (inbound and outbound structuring) and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand the foundational concepts (where I can explain them clearly to clients) and offering a shred of value. Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming
